91	La Bean Coffee Summitville, New York Valley Heart Blend Roast: Medium Review Date: March 2009 Origin: Ethiopia; Sumatra; Colombia Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Gently pungent aroma of sweet chocolate and nut. Balanced acidity, full mouthfeel, and soft, deep layers of flavors ranging from flowers and dried fruit to more nut and cocoa. Finishes cleanly, with a mild milk chocolate note.
